Operations and supply chain strategies for Pumpkin Patch company Introduction Pumpkin patch is a children fashion and clothing company in New Zealand that was doing very well at a worth of $830m in 2007 with a lot of branches across the world but went to being worthless nine years later due to a number of operational reasons. This store was established in 1990; its first big peak was in 2002 and in two years it was doing very well. When the founder, Ms. Synnott, left the board to the directors to find new people with new skills to run the company and move it to having many other branches of retail shops, by 2015 most of these shops were closing down. This shows that the label’s international expansion greatly contributed to the closing down of the company. According to Clare and Lloyd (1994), some of the reasons commentators gave that were likely to have caused the demise of the company included the fact that they expanded the businesses too fast and over relayed on debts, the fashion market was too…

Emergency Management Doctrine The preparation stage is the most important phase of emergency management. The phase involves continuous planning, exercising, and equipping. These activities are important since we cannot avoid emergent situations. Rather, the level of preparedness of emergency response teams is what is going to determine the damage that will result (Mojtahedi Bee, 37). The emergency response manager should be housed in the fire department. This way, the emergency teams from both departments can better co-work in case of a disastrous situation. Otherwise, they would take unnecessarily long to respond to calls leading to greater loses (Mojtahedi & Bee, 44). A stand-alone emergency department is as much unprepared to deal with urgent situations as is one that is under-staffed or has inadequate resources. These features reveal that the local government involved does not care much about emergencies probably because it has not experienced a major disaster before or there are not enough funds. As Quarantelli notes, Both Emergency Operation Centers (EOCs) and fusion centers play a critical role in facilitating the country’s homeland security efforts (380). Fusion centers enable…

Global Environment Politics The modern world is more unpredictable and complex than ever before.  Most people speculate that we are living in a global disorder and a chaotic international system. There still lacks a world government, and the USA cannot rule the global environment as it did in the 1990s because of the emergence of new players in the international markets, which makes it much more complex to identify current power relations. Globalization is encouraging the reemergence of nationalism since new emerging powers are seeking to gain political powers by national (re) affirmation. Western powers, especially in Europe, are trying to curb the rise of racist, xenophobic, and racist forces due to their inability to deal with the financial crisis effectively. The international community is faced with diverse problems that are having some relation to the environment, and unless there is cooperation, this chaos might become worse than ever seen before (Pereira, 2015). Different tools can be useful in studying global environmental politics. The various sub-themes in the study are global governance, civil society; or, climate changes, which will be…

 importance of exercising our rights without fear INTRODUCTION. Politics is at the heart of all collective social activity, formal and informal, public and Private, in all human groups, institutions and societies’ (Leftwich, as cited in Ferdinand et al., 2018: 11).in today’s politics we can see that everyone is exercising politics, not looking the social class, it can be done by the group of people, families or even among nations. It very important in such a way that it helps us understand the importance of exercising our rights without fear of social status or even age.   We often have nations discussing wars,countries with the political difference with other nations, for example. The USA is solving the issue of a nuclear bomb; this has caused panic worldwide, where the governments were debating about it; this type of politics is always for the good of the world. Furthermore, in today’s politics, we can see students exercising it institutions through the student union, where they also criticize the government when it goes wrong, we can see union promoting variety of programs, services that…
